This is your very, VERY important reminder that a special pop-up experience is coming to Disney Springs. We know things pop up in Disney Springs all the time, but this one is dedicated to milkshakes, which means it might just be the best one yet.
Let’s try some milkshakes!
Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes is opening in the old Sprinkles building for a limited time starting on March 2nd. Are you ready for some CrazyShakes?
We have a reminder for you if you are heading to Disney World in 2026! While Disney World’s biggest draw is the theme parks, Disney Springs is also a very popular destination with plenty of shopping, dining, and entertainment. Admission and parking are free, making it an excellent option on non-park days. However, Disney Springs might be a bit more chaotic in 2026, and we have all the details on why!
Disney Springs
Parking is about to get a bit more limited, and we don’t want you to be caught by surprise! A construction project is about to begin that might impact your Disney Springs visit, and we want you to be prepared.
It is one of the busiest times of the year at Disney World! If you are heading to Disney World to celebrate the holidays or ring in the New Year, you won’t be the only ones. While it is definitely a magical time of year at Disney World, it is also VERY crowded. We aren’t telling you to cancel your trip, but we do want you to have the right expectations. Plus, a little bit of preparation and planning ahead can go a looonngg way as you navigate the holiday crowds.
Disney Springs crowds
As we begin the countdown to 2026, we have a bit of a warning if you are headed to Disney Springs. This shopping, dining, and entertainment district is always popular — especially during the holidays. Parking and admission are free, so it is a great spot to have some fun without buying tickets or paying for parking.
The Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend is coming February 26th through March 2nd, 2026! Whether you are getting ready to participate in the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend, preparing to cheer someone on in the race, or are just now learning there is a race that weekend, we have an update you need to know.
EPCOT
Due to the Disney Princess Half Marathon on Sunday, March 1st, EPCOT will open a bit later than usual. Don’t worry, it’s nothing too crazy, but we don’t want you showing up at the normal opening time only to find that the park is closed. EPCOT will open at 10 AM instead of 9 AM, with Early Entry beginning at 9:30 AM.
We are entering one of the busiest times of the year at Disney World! It is hard to believe Christmas is just a few days away, and 2026 will be here before we know it. If you are headed to Disney World in the next two weeks, be prepared for lots of crowds. We think the holiday season at Disney World is so magical, and even though it will be crowded, you can still have a fantastic time with your family.
Disney Springs
Make sure you plan ahead and leave plenty of time to reach your destination. If you are heading to Disney Springs for a dining reservation, plan to arrive at least 60 minutes early. The parking lots can get very crowded, and they can also reach capacity. Also, consider using Disney World transportation or ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft. We don’t want you to miss out on some yummy food!
We are just ONE week away from the reopening of a popular EPCOT attraction! We have been waiting OVER a year for the updating of this ride, and the time has almost arrived for its reopening.
EPCOT
The attraction has been hosting previews for a few weeks now and has also been opening up in short, surprise spurts for other guests to experience the attraction. But it just one week, the attraction will be open to all guests!
